Pheromone - Creative Multi-Concept WordPress Theme 1.2.8

Pheromone is a modern, multi-concept WordPress theme designed for high-impact creative websites. Unlike the hyper-specialized themes you've explored like BugsPatrol or Beacon, Pheromone is a "Swiss Army Knife" for the creative industry.

It is best known for its sleek, dark aesthetics and its ability to switch between a One-Page landing site and a Multi-Page corporate site with ease.

Core Features

70+ Pre-made Demos: Includes a massive library of "starter sites" for photographers, creative agencies, music producers, and freelancers.

Minimalist & Fast: Pheromone is built on the Bootstrap Framework, making it lightweight and highly responsive. It avoids the "bloat" that often slows down multipurpose themes.

Filterable Portfolios: Features a modern, Ajax-powered portfolio system where users can filter your work by category (e.g., "Web Design," "Photography") without the page reloading.

WPBakery & Shortcodes: Bundled with WPBakery Page Builder and a custom Pheromone Shortcodes plugin, giving you over 40+ custom drag-and-drop elements.

Retina & Video Ready: Supports high-resolution imagery and YouTube/Vimeo backgrounds for sections, perfect for a cinematic user experience.

Why Choose Pheromone?

Choose Pheromone if you want a professional, "tech-forward" look. It uses very clean typography and high-contrast designs (often dark backgrounds with crisp white text). It is a favorite for Digital Agencies and Freelance Developers who want to show they are at the cutting edge of design.

Important 2025 Note

As of late 2025, Pheromone has been updated (Version 1.3.2+) to maintain compatibility with PHP 8.0+ and WordPress 6.0-6.7+. However, since it relies heavily on WPBakery, it feels different to edit than the newer Elementor-native themes like Earna or Beacon.

Are you interested in a specific demo style within Pheromone (like the "Agency" or "Photography" demo), or would you like me to help you compare it to a theme that uses Elementor instead of WPBakery?
